COMEBACK KIDS – The Bucks trailed by as many as 14 points against the Raptors on Monday before outscoring
Toronto 30-19 in the fourth quarter to earn the victory. The double-digit comeback was nothing new for a Bucks
team that has now rallied from 10+ points down to win 10 times this season, highlighted by Milwaukee's
comeback from an 18-point deficit to beat Miami on Feb. 1. Here's a look at Milwaukee's biggest comebacks this
season: PARTY OF FIVE – A five-block party has been going on in Milwaukee in recent weeks. The Bucks have posted 5+ blocks in 10 of their last 11 games, led by the shot-swatting duo of Larry Sanders and Ekpe Udoh. Sanders has led Milwaukee in blocks a team-high 24 times, while Udoh boasts a league-leading 26 multi-block games as a reserve this season. SUP-ERSAN – Ilyasova is having a breakout season, posting career highs in scoring (13.0 ppg), rebounding (8.8 rpg), FG% (.492), 3P% (.455), 20-point games (11) and double-doubles (20). What makes Ersan stand out as a Most Improved candidate, though, is that he's accomplished it all in just 27.6 minutes per game (just two additional minutes than his previous career high). Ersan has been so efficient in his minutes this season that he's on pace to become the first player to average 12 points and eight rebounds in under 28 minutes per game since a pair of Hall of Famers did so in the early '90s:
ERSANITY – During the height of Linsanity in New York, Ilyasova produced a historic night of his own just across the Hudson. Ersan erupted for career highs of 29 points and 25 rebounds in Milwaukee's win over the Nets, becoming the first Bucks player in over 30 years to tally 25+ points and rebounds in a single game. Ilyasova becomes just the third member of the 25/25 club in Bucks history, joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Swen Nater. DUN-3-VY – The Bucks offense has been a revelation this season, ranking in the top-half of the league in scoring (99.6 ppg, 5th), 100-point games (33, 4th) and offensive rating (103.1, 12th), after finishing 30th in all three categories a season ago. A major reason for the improvement has been the scoring off the bench from Dunleavy. The veteran has led a 2nd-unit that ranks 9th in the league at 34.0 bench points per game, and his 22 games this season with 10+ points on 50% or better shooting as a reserve is 7th in the league. Dunleavy shot 56.9% from the field during March, the best mark in the month for a guard, and his 54.4% accuracy from behind the arc for the month led the league. Dunleavy is at 40.3% from three on the season, tied for the 20thbest mark in the NBA.
